How I can do? Now firstly, that's not an MTA problem. However, I'll assume that you're connected through a slow link, and that you don't want saturate that link with huge e-mails, which is understandable (but misguided). If you convert a mail to contain pointers to (I suppose) HTTP or FTP accessible files instead of huge attachments, you'd have to write the code to extract these attachments, and store them somewhere in your HTTP or FTP space, only to find out that the recipient uses her browser or mail client to download said files. Net gain in bandwidth: zero. Next you'll have to manage these files (do you delete them after a successful download, or what?). Net increase in complexity: quite a lot. Effect on your small server: worse than if you'd simply send out those attachments. If your users want to send out big attachments, these'll somehow get out. Better educate them to use "gzip" (or "winzip") on their Word/Excel files. Usually that takes care of the bloat. As to batching up the mail before sending it to your smarthost, with qmail that's done by delivering all outgoing mail to a Maildir, and using serialmail. Works like a charm.

problem with notifying user that new email arrived
hi ! I want qmail to notify user that new email arrived. When this happens qmail should send SMS to user's cellular phone. So I put the .qmail file in user's home directory: /home/info/Mailbox |preline /home/info/sendsms It adds new email to mailbox and runs script that sends SMS. Everything is working fine when I send email without attachments.

qmail and LDAP
All the information I've found so far about qmail and LDAP pertains only to dealing with user account information on extremely large mail servers where the users in the LDAP directory have no local accounts. I'm wondering if anyone is using qmail in a different sort of LDAP environment, where there are local accounts, and the functionality you really need qmail/LDAP integration for is mail aliases. nss_ldap solves the account information part of the puzzle for me; what I haven't found existing information on is the aliases part of things. It seems like the qmail way of doing things would mandate an add-on like fastforward, but that handled LDAP-stored mailing lists instead of using CDB files. Any experiences here? --Bret

There is reasonably good documentation, but its pretty intuitive to setup and I had little problems, there even is a blurb about configuring common clients. After reading on the inter7 web pages about Courier IMAP, I got the impression that it wasn't going to work right for clients using Outlook or Netscape. Based on that, I eliminated it from consideration; what's the point of something that doesn't support two such major products? Am I taking the problems more seriously than I should? (I also read some about *why* it didn't work, and it sounds like those products are "broken" and Courier IMAP is "right". I understand the author's position.

ezmlm only for broadcast
Any help is appreciated on this matter: I want to use ezmlm on top of qmail to do the following: 1. create a mailing list 2. allow only broadcast, subscribers cannot post 3. only one user is allowed to subscribe and unscribe and post Any guidelines or pointers are welcome. I've read the ezmlm FAQ and I am still at a lost. Thanks Rene

You could use strace/truss/par to trace system calls in the IMAP daemon. You'll need to connect to the IMAP port, lookup up the PID of the IMAP daemon, start tracing that PID, then execute the IMAP commands to log in and check your mailbox. You might want to try another IMAP client such as fetchmail or Outlook Express. I don't remember having any trouble with Netscape and UW-IMAP, though. -Dave

Re: problem with notifying user that new email arrived
Dariusz Zmokly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want qmail to notify user that new email arrived. When this happens qmail should send SMS to user's cellular phone. So I put the .qmail file in user's home directory: /home/info/Mailbox |preline /home/info/sendsms It adds new email to mailbox and runs script that sends SMS. Everything is working fine when I send email without attachments.

You could see it when typing qmail-qread. qmail tries to deliver this message again and again according to its delivery schedule and every time user gets SMS and message is added to his Mailbox. Could you please give me some advice how to correct this problem ? preline freaks out if the program it's running doesn't read the entire message. sendsms is obviously doing just that when the message contains an attachement. Since preline returns an error status that qmail-local considers temporary, the delivery is deferred and retried. The simplest fix, if you don't care about sendsms errors, would be to change the invocation to: |preline /home/info/sendsms; exit 0 -Dave

Re: Sorry, no mailbox (unusual)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a many machines installed with qmail-1.03 with simular config. But today I found that mail for one user (oracle) on one of machines is just bounced with "Sorry, no mailbox by that name #5.1.1" error. This has .qmail for forwarding his email to mailhub. All other users with simular config, oracle user on other machines with same config work just fine, but this one...ugh... I've checked all permissions, tried to create ./Maildir/, everything looks good for. But not for qmail. Any thoughts/suggestions? Obviously something is different. I would first verify that "oracle" on this machine meets qmail-getpw's definition of a user: qmail-getpw considers an account in /etc/passwd to be a user if (1) the account has a nonzero uid, (2) the account's home directory exists (and is visible to qmail- getpw), and (3) the account owns its home directory. qmail-getpw ignores account names containing uppercase letters. qmail-getpw also assumes that all account names are shorter than 32 characters. Your oracle account probably isn't UID 0, so I'd make sure the home directory is accessible and owned by oracle. -Dave

Re: Problems with qmail-pw2u
Hmmm... On the machine that you are having the problems finding the alias user, are you running a qmail-1.03 binary package that was compiled on a different machine? I had similar problems. I built qmail-1.03, tarred up the binaries, moved them to a (seemingly) identical machine, and it failed to run. This is because the numeric uids and gids of the qmail system users are compiled into the code. (Other ppl on this list confirmed this for me; thank you). For example, I can reproduce your error by copying /etc/passwd and changing the alias user's uid and then trying to run qmail-pw2u on it: keith@develop[pts/8]:~$ cp /etc/passwd . keith@develop[pts/8]:~$ grep ^alias: ./passwd alias:x:202:214:Qmail Subsystem,,,:/usr/local/qmail/alias:/bin/false keith@develop[pts/8]:~$ # alias user has uid 202; will change it to 302 keith@develop[pts/8]:~$ vi ./passwd keith@develop[pts/8]:~$ grep ^alias: ./passwd alias:x:302:214:Qmail Subsystem,,,:/usr/local/qmail/alias:/bin/false keith@develop[pts/8]:~$ qmail-pw2u ./passwd 1/dev/null qmail-pw2u: fatal: unable to find alias user keith@develop[pts/8]:~$ - Original Message - From: "Chris Tolley" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 10, 2000 2:22 PM Subject: Problems with qmail-pw2u I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Problem with qmail counting local deliveries
Our qmail+ldap installation seems to be losing track of the number of local deliveries going on. We have it set up to limit concurrent local deliveries to 50, and after running for a while, it will think that it already has 50 local deliveries running, and won't start any more up. In reality, though, it has between 0 and 20 running Here's an example: mail013# tail -1000 syslog | grep 'status:' | tail -10 Apr 10 14:09:32 mail013 qmail: 955390172.820586 status: local 50/50 remote 13/50 Apr 10 14:09:35 mail013 qmail: 955390175.792667 status: local 50/50 remote 12/50 Apr 10 14:09:35 mail013 qmail: 955390175.993011 status: local 50/50 remote 11/50 Apr 10 14:09:39 mail013 qmail: 955390179.265143 status: local 50/50 remote 10/50 Apr 10 14:09:40 mail013 qmail: 955390180.472890 status: local 50/50 remote 9/50 Apr 10 14:09:41 mail013 qmail: 955390181.445602 status: local 50/50 remote 8/50 Apr 10 14:09:48 mail013 qmail: 955390188.578305 status: local 50/50 remote 9/50 Apr 10 14:09:48 mail013 qmail: 955390188.705810 status: local 50/50 remote 8/50 Apr 10 14:09:53 mail013 qmail: 955390193.873759 status: local 50/50 remote 9/50 Apr 10 14:09:54 mail013 qmail: 955390194.544234 status: local 50/50 remote 10/50 mail013# ps -ef | grep qmail-local | grep -v grep |wc -l 0 mail013# ps -ef | grep qmail-lspawn |grep -v grep |wc -l 19 Additionally, many of the 19 qmail-lspawn processes are a week old or older, and seem to be hung (they don't have any child processes, and are in a poll() system call). This can be solved by shutting down qmail and starting it back up, but I don't want to have to do this every week for each of our 20 mail servers. Has anybody seen this problem before? We are running qmail-1.03 with the LDAP patches from 19991007. We've got a cluster of about 20 mail servers, each pushing around 65,000 messages/day. I'm seeing this problem after running for about 2 weeks. Thanks for any pointers, --Scott.
Mail Headers
More of a email format rather than a qmail question, so I apologize for posting this here up front. Could not get the answer in Dan's pages. If I were to get a bounced message, is it possible to re-direct the response to one address and the actual message to another. I have used Reply-To: to re-direct the bounce. Any ideas on the response to the bounce? Thanks, Len

supervise everywhere
We took down one of our servers and replaced the hard drive with something much larger. Another guy was working on it, so I don't exactly know right now what procedure was used to do this. But... When he brought the server back up, we noticed (understatement) that a supervise directory was created under almost every directory (but not *all* of them). What could have caused this? I never explicitly created the 100 or so supervise directories. When qmail was started, though, I don't think that the original supervise directory was there-- will supervise go crazy creating directories? Thanks for any help, Jen

If /var/qmail/supervise doesn't exist, the cd fails, and svscan will run from /, and it assumes that each subdirectory is a service, and runs supervise on it. The script should check to make sure the cd succeeded, e.g.: if cd /var/qmail/supervise; then env - PATH="$PATH" svscan echo $! /var/run/svscan.pid fi echo "."

Could not get the answer in Dan's pages. If I were to get a bounced message, is it possible to re-direct the response to one address and the actual message to another. I have used Reply-To: to re-direct the bounce. Any ideas on the response to the bounce? You won't be able to do this in all cases since the bounce messages will be generated by the remote machines. Different servers use different formats, so there is no reliable way to extract the original message and send it some place else. If you control the envelope sender address of the outgoing messages, you can set it to be one handled by a program that recognizes a couple of the formats used in practice.

Erm...
qmail-pw2u reads from standin. You ran it as "/usr/bin/qmail/qmail-pw2u
alias"; it was
waiting for input via stdin, not hanging.
Try 'strace qmail-getpw alias', which is probably what you meant to do!
Also, what is the output of qmail-showctl on the RPM box? And what is the

delivery hiccup involving MDaemon.v2.7.SP4.R and hacked 250 reply
I'd like to think it's my fault, for altering smtpd.c to have cute messages, but this has never happened before, so it could mean that MDaemon got confused by the non-standard 250 code, saying more than "250 ok" like others do, and returned the buffer in a rcpt to: command. I'm looking at these headers: Received: (qmail 501888 invoked by alias); 10 Apr 2000 20:55:05 - Delivered-To: 250 ok yes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 501889 invoked from network); 10 Apr 2000 20:54:54 - Received: from asub.arknet.edu (HELO asubserver1.asub.arknet.edu) (150.208.48.1) by tesla.umkc.edu with SMTP; 10 Apr 2000 20:54:54 - Received: from guest.asub.arknet.edu [150.208.48.186] by asubserver1.asub.arknet.edu [127.0.0.1] with SMTP (MDaemon.v2.7.SP4.R) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 10 Apr 2000 15:46:50 -0500 Apparently qmail on tesla delivered this to "250 ok yes [EMAIL PROTECTED]" which fell through to me, instead of queueing it and re-sending it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] like was supposed to happen. I have forwarded the message to the correct recipient, but I would like to prevent this from happening again. I am guessing that I need to include a dash after the OK in the replies, like microsoft exchange has, to fix this. Reviewing the relevant documentation, that is, http://cr.yp.to/smtp/request.html, I am led to understand that a SMTP response of "250 ok yes sir" is every bit as valid as exchange's "250 OK - Recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED]" so I am not changing my server.

I've written a system-wide mail filtering program I implemented that
checks RBL, RSS, ORBS, and DUL.

It also uses a small 4 line patch to qmail's received.c file to insert
an X-Remote-IP header.
Ok, I've taken a look at what you've done and the flame antispam patch
and come up with the attached, which I think should do what I want.
Except it doesn't. Closer examination reveals it's failing on the test
to make sure we ip_scaned the entire string, but I can't see why.
Anyone any hints for debugging qmail patches?

qmail stopped responding
Suddenly qmail stopped responding today. Telnet to port 25 gave me the standard telnet "connected to" and "escape character is ^]" but no smtp prompt. ps aux showed many smtp processes. Since the phone was ringing off the hook, I had to hurry and didn't have time to look farther. I stopped the qmail service, waited about 30 seconds, then restarted it. It's answering again, but I don't know for how long. A feel rusty since it's been so long since anything has gone with my qmail installation. :-/ What should have I done to track down the culprit?

Maildir format info
Hi all, I just started using maildirs with mutt and procmail. I am planning on writing a utility to allow me to search all of my maildir folders for mail matching certain regexps and then linking them into a result folder also a maildir that I could then browse with mutt. Relatively simple but I am looking for details on maildir format so that I dump my results without cheating. Does anyone have any ideas or pointers? Thanks, /Duncan -- Duncan Watson nCube

Redirecting email messages into a local database
Hi there, I would like my qmail server to able to write messages received for the local recipients to a local database . It can or cannot be at the expense of local delivery to Maildir. So how do i do it? Is that some configuration file for me to set so that it invokes an executable whenever a mail arrive etc. If programming is required, which of the source files for qmail should I modify? Thanks a lot everyone! regards, steve
